I just can't think what 'special tools' you need for a caliper rebuild.

Is there something special about 90 rear calipers?  The only half-way exotic 
item needed on an ur-quattro is a piston retractor, but that's hardly rocket 
science - every car needs something similar.  I made my own in half an hour.
